Special to the Indianapolis Journal
A letter appeared in your paper a few days
ago, signed "A Republican" The author of the
letter was unfortunate in the selection of his
signature. When the last Republican conven-
ton unanimously demanded that the provisions
of the national civilservice act should be incor-
porated into the legislation Of this State the past
traditions of the Republican party ought, at
least, to induce men to think that they meant
what they said in this declaration of principles.
The bill introduced into the Indiana House of
Representatives, supported by every Republican
vote, contains substantially the provisions Of the
national civiservice Law. For many years past
Republican platforms, both national and State,
have distinctly advocated civl-service reform,
yet this gentleman, who talks ex cathedra as
Republican. declines, very prudently. to enter
into an examination of what he calls ''the falla-

The time for IA Republican" to make his OBJ

settled policy of the Republican party for many
years past. declared in the platform of that
party, should be overthrown let him withdraw
from that party and not presume to speak for it.
If the present investigation OF the Insane Hos
pital does not show the need of some permanent
system of selecting better servants of the State
than that provided under the old spoiIs system,
it will be hard to provide an object lesson which
will have any effect upon this pseudo Repub-

A Soldiers Monument, Not Memorial Hall.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The notion of building a memorial hall in
honor Of Indiana's dead soldiers in the Circle
should be carefully considered by the members
of the House Of Representatives. Memorial
halls are out of date, and those already built in
number of cities have disappointed those who
contributed to their erection. There will be
plenty of room in the State -house for memorials,
and then there would be no doubt about their
being cared for and the rooms kept open. What
the soldiers should have is a colossal monument
of some kind and it should be put directly in
front of the main entrance of the STATED house.
The Morton monument should not be disturbed.
1t was built by the contributions of the loyal
people of the State and was placed in the Circle
at their request Let it remain and erect the
soldiers monument in front of the State house.

Of failing health, whether in the form Of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in :
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss o.
Appetite, should suggest the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation Of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify.
ing, enriching, and vitaizing the blood.
Failing Health.
Ten years ago my health began to fail.
/ was troubled with distressing Cough,
Night SweatS, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. I tried various remedies pre-
Seribed by different physicians, but
became SO weak that could not go up
stairs without stopping 60 rest. My
Sarsaparilla, which did, and am now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
T.. L. Williams, Alexandria, MINI.
I have used Ayers Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. / have
also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an
Alternative, and must say that honestly
believe it to be the best blood medicine
ever cOmpounded.-W.F f. Fowler, M. D.,
d. D. S., Greenville, Tenn.
Dyspepsia Cured.
1t would be impossible for me to de-
scribe what suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time I began
taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. Twas under
the care of various physicians, and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re-
lief. After taking Ayers Sarsaparilla
for short time, my headache disap-
peared, and my stomach performed its
duties more perfectly. To-day my
health is completely restored. - Mary
Harley, Springfield, Mass.
I have been greatly benefited by the
prompt use of Ayers Sarsaparilla. It
tones and invigorates the system, regu-
lates the action of the digestive and
assimilative organs, and vitalizes the
blood. It is, without doubt, the most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered. -

CARING FOR HEIFERS.

While we are on the subject OF
the treatment of cows, do not let
us forget to think about the proper
care of our young heifers with their
first calves. You have it within
your power to produce either good
or bad COWS, in more ways than
one.
While feeding will have a great
deal to do with the flow of milk,
treatment also cuts an important
figure. If you are kind and gentle
with them when you first begin
handling them, they will not have
their first impression turned IN the
wrong channel. There is nothing
like giving mich COWS confidence
in you, that is, letting them know
that you will treat them kindly I'M
der all ordinary circumstances. BE
kind but firm, and you Will sue
coed.
Be sure to milk them dry and as
quickly as possible, and milk them
as long, during the season, as pos
sible it will keep them from get
ting into the habit of drying up
soon and remaining dry during a
long period.
We never have had any trouble
in breaking our heifers to stand,
and in making good, gentle COWS
of them. We have used no rough
ness, and they soon learn that we
do not intend to harm them, but
rather are doing it all for their
own good.
Do not keep your COWS too long,
but rather sell off and secure
younger stock. They may not do
so we'll the first time, but after the
second or third calf they will sue
coed in pleasing you with the
quantity and quality of their milk.

so when you open, you first take
up the first section making hole
3x3 feet. After using up that layer
you can then take out another sec

mind that it must be kept from air

is daily needed. See my last letter
on this point.
If these hasty lines will aid you

you. l feel deeply interested IN
such matters and am sure it is the
